Me 2 You Bear Birthday cards for my DT

Hiya peeps

I would like to show you mainly more photos of my 2 cards that are shown on the
Crafting Musketeers Challenge Blog Halfway Post

Both cards are made using the Me 2 You Bears cd rom released & licensed by DoCrafts some years ago and is not presently available on their website but you could find a copy on Create and Craft TV website but also possibly on Ebay or other craft suppliers websites, I fully recommend buying this cd rom as its full of gorgeous digital images, papers,

The first Me 2 you bear is an A4 sized cards as I always prefer to send my eldest daughter and my 3 grandsons that size, where as my youngest Tia likes a square card so usually I make her an 8x8 & shes always happy with any card that I make for her. The 2nds card as seen below, is for my eldest step daughter, she also is a fan of Me 2 You bears and has a fabulous collection.


The pink & white flowers were brought from Ebay and the pink Happy Birthday (other colours available)  and the 23mm Gold Edge Sheer Red (under the Happy Birthday) are both from Crafty Ribbons website/blog/challenge blog.


I would like to enter the top card in to the following challenges:

Animal Friends Challenge, #29 - At The Zoo

This card below,  as I have already said, was made for my eldest stepdaughter's birthday, which was just a couple of days before my own eldest daughter (the card above).  Its an A5 size. The papers are from a mixture of Me 2 You 12 x 12 paper pack and my own stash (brought last year sometime), as for the flowers, they are real dried flowers and I brought them from Joanna Sheen but I cant find them on her website today. The Happy Birthday tag is from a Me 2 You Papercrafting kit.

Canine Capers on a card....

Hiya peeps,

How are you all doing?? Im feeling so much brighter today (well at 4.20am anyway).

A more cheerier card than my last post, but Ive made this card for no particular reason,
Ive just had the rubber stamp for ages and not used it for so long that I knew it needed
an airing again lol.

The stamp set consists of 3 dog images and 4 sentiments,, called Canine Capers 1 by
Kraftin Kimmie Stamps

The stamped image of the dog has been coloured using Distress pens by Tim Holtz.

Everything else was made from items that were from my own stash.

I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

Animal Friends Challenge, #28, theme is always must show/include an animal

A card which we all hate making and sending...

Hello dear crafty friends,

Yes, the card that we all dread sending is a Sympathy card, this is one Ive sent to the father of my best friend of 40+ years as her mum passed away last week. I did send one to my friend but as her home was my 2nd home during high school, I really wanted to send a Sympathy card to Lynn's dad....

I used a couple of items from Hunkydory and they are called Window to the Heart Miniature Postcards but I cant seem the find them on either Hunkydory's  website or even Create & Craft where I brought them from (as they were a BOGOF offer at the time).

Anyway, the beautiful Grey Cotton Lace and Cream Sheer Organza Ribbon are both available from Crafty Ribbons fabulous website... you will be spoilt for choice from that website as there must be thousands of different colours/types/designs for you to choose from..


I hope you are inspired by this particular card.... even though it's a sad circumstance. Ribbons and/or lace can brighten any occasion made card.

Some beautiful and endlessly gorgeous ribbons for you....

Hiya peeps,

A halfway reminder for you on behalf of Crafting Musketeers Challenge #27, the theme is Anything Goes.

My make for this challenge is a card that I made quite a while ago when I couldnt talk to you as much as I wasnt very well.

I used a Stamps Away clear stamp called "The Campervan" backing it with bright orange card from Papermill Direct, (loads of other colours available) 

Crafty Ribbons are sponsoring this months Challenge and the prize will be a selection of ribbons being sent to the winner of the Challenge.

All of the card used in this card is from Papermill Direct.. The Tangerine & White Swiss Dot Grosgrain Ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons based in Dorset and have a fantastic range of different types and colours of ribbons and a full range of buttons some of which match the ribbons.

A bright & colourful card using Lacy Sunshine

Hiya peeps,

A colour challenge for you today, from  Graph It Challenge week 27 where the theme is SHADES OF PINK, YELLOW or ORANGE Such gorgeous summer combos! 

My card is made using a digi image from Lacy Sunshine called Patchy Pennys Patchwork Apples

(That link will take you to the image direct and then you can browse the shop if you wish. 

I made a largish card again, roughly 8x8 inch with ribbons from Crafty Ribbons, the colours are:

Iris and Regal Purple Ive placed loads of different colours of flowers on and I think that the yellow and bright orange card die cuts show off lovely against the Spring Green base card.

I am entering this card in to the following challenges:

Crafty Ribbons 123 Challenge... Bicycles with Ribbons!!!

Hiya peeps,

For this months challenge over at our lovely Crafty Ribbons Challenge Blog where the theme this time is Bicycles!!! (Which is the theme I chose because mainly the Tour De France is ongoing).

I chose to make a Christmas card using this cute eskimo rubber stamp that   I have from Eskimo on a Bicycle (retired so unavailable) (click on the link to see other fantastic rubber stamps from LOTV).
Well, as it is a Christmas Card I wanted to keep to the same colour theme of pale blues and whites., very contemporary which I love. (Dont get me wrong I love the traditional colours of red & green with gold or silver).

The EXCLUSIVE to Crafty Ribbons ribbon is called Santa's Little Helpers Christmas Ribbon Collection

of which you will find more ribbons very similar on the website too.
